This weekend, on our way to a wonderful labour day weekend with friends in the Okanagan Region of British Columbia, Canada, we decided to make an spontaneous stop in Peachland! I have a natural curiosity for life and I saw a sign that said “Parrot Island”. That is all it took for me to ask my husband to stop!! I am so very glad I did!
Please learn more about this amazing place and see the videos we captured. see below.
Parrot Island is a unique sanctuary for exotic birds run by Ray Parkes and his wife Valerie. They have devoted their lives to the preservation of these beautiful animals for the benefit of all.
Ray and Valerie also run a program whereby birds are matched up with individuals in the Okanagan Valley that could benefit from the love and companionship of one of these amazing birds. Both end up benefiting from the mutual love and affection they both share.
